    Not watching the telecast. Just looking at the feeds.
    Lorenzo is fast everywhere, except on dirt.

    Someone thinks that a strong Dovi can finish behind the Repsols and JL this Sunday! Problem for Rossi is that Valencia has a thin racing line and overtaking is hard. You're already out of steam if, you have passed 20-odd riders. If JL takes off like a scalded cat on Sunday, it's tough for VR.

      FP1 result. Coming to think of it, Rossi has nothing to loose now, with everyone expecting Lorenzo to wind up the title. That should take little bit of pressure off his shoulders.

      Getting a good start is crucial, and like everyone says hope for MM and DP to spoil the party for Lorenzo. I would say that is wishful thinking.

      Coming Sunday is the most awaited Sunday of my 33 yr old life

        Lorenzo fastest in FP2. MM and VR are in good nick and have similar pace. Ped just a tad slower than Lor in 2nd - Ped-Honda take a longer time to get the right setting. Hard to say what's going on just looking at the time sheets.
        However, VR is definitely doing long runs and working on his race pace. And Iannone joins the party. Soft tyre or a tow? Don't know!

          Two longest weeks..
          Rossi's pace looks ok. But I think starting from the back on a dry track is too much of an ask.

          But that wont stop me from cheering Rossi..........

                The world should start using a phrase, "as smooth as Lorenzo". What a beautiful lap!

                Rossi's Q2 was strange. Neither worked on his race pace nor on fast laps. It doesn't look good at the moment.

                  Rossi's worst nightmare beginning to take shape?

                  Was it the tyre option that helped JL?

                      What a lap from lorenzo. Hope rossi gets going tomorrow. Today was quite the disaster for him. What a save from Hayden as maverick crashed right in front of him. Amazing!

                        Those penalty points are killing Rossi. Had he saved himself from that ugly Sepang incident, at the most he 'd have lost 3 more points but, he'd have had a much better chance to fight Lorenzo at Valencia. Whether Marquez interferes or not is altogether a different matter. Be blistering fast than the next guy then, there shall be no problem. Look at how Lorenzo manages. This type of racing is never one to one. If Sunday is a normal day, Lorenzo shall be the champion.
                        But, I'm hoping for a miracle!


                        Good work by Nicky Hayden there in Q1. Vinales must have felt like a duck sitting in front of a dragon!

                            Lorenzo is fast this year.. Minus his tantrums. What a lap...I was like, where did that come from??

                            Rossi I thought would just work on his race set up. He was sitting up a couple of corners, andI guess he had a moment. If Lorenzo gets the start(which I am sure he will) and Hondas coming to play in the second half of the race,(Philip Island Style according to Marquez). Then game over for Rossi I guess.

                            Warm up Practice would be so important...


                            Go Vale!!!
